“Anybody who says Gasol deserves to be in the All Star over Z-Bo or Kaman probably voted for Allen Iverson to be a starter. Gasol’s good personal stats in consideration, I don’t see anybody missing 40% of the season (as of today) deserving of an All Star slot.”

The writers also thought Tyreke Evans was more worthy of being a replacement (if somebody gets injured) than Gasol. In 27 games this season, Gasol has averaged 17.1 ppg, 10.9 rpg and has shot 53.8 percent from the field.

The official All-Star reserves (who are picked by the coaches), will be announced on Thursday.

Another interested note about the poll, was the fact Monta Ellis only received one vote. Ellis, who is dubbed “Mr. Unbelievable” by teammate Corey Maggette, is averaging 26.1 ppg (6th in NBA), 5.5 apg (16th in NBA), 2.2 spg (2nd in NBA) in 42 mpg (1st in NBA). But obviously wins count for something as the Warriors are 13-29, which is the second-worst record in the West.
